Plant description
Sumptuous, deep violet-purple flowers, each with darker, ruffled lower petals, appear in late spring among clumps of slender, strap-shaped leaves.
Give this Siberian iris room to spread and if space allows, plant it in generous, naturalised drifts.
Iris 'Ruffled Velvet' looks wonderful when planted at the edges of a pond, but is equally worthy of a place in a mixed or herbaceous border.
